Bush: Iraq pullout would be 'disaster'
President Bush on Monday said there would be no quick U.S. exit from Iraq despite talk of civil war during times that are "straining the psyche of our country." "If we ever give up the desire to help people who want to live in a free society, we will have lost our soul as a nation," Bush said.
The unstated truth behind the U.S. not pulling out of Iraq is the belief that by leaving Iraq the terrorist element will see that as a "victory" against the United States. The same as Israel leaving Lebanon.
Bush: Iraq pullout would be 'disaster'

Bush putting troops into Iraq was like stabbing someone in the chest. The knife shouldn't be put in, but once it is in pulling it out before everything is sorted by the doctors is going to make things much worse. Going to war with Iraq was wrong, but the country will be much worse off if the troops come home now. Before withdrawal of American troops, the sectarian problems need to be sorted out, and order needs to resume. If the troops return too soon, the country will destablise completely.
US troops also need to be disiplined harshly as well, the terrorism in Iraq will just go on if more civilians are murdered by Americans.
Despite what many may think, its a good sign of solidarity to stay.
Two "Vietnam" situations for the US would be a terrible sign of decline. In all honesty, the US won't leave until civil war begins.
Think about it; two Shia powerhouses next to each other, OUCH!
*that would be Iran and Iraq*
"This world is a blank price tag, and whatever value you put on it, is what its worth to you. I have made this world priceless and worthless, so therefore I have placed my value in the afterlife."
The funny thing is that I knew once I saw that you replied to this thread Zulkiflim, that Israel would be mentioned. Heck, I am sure that Israel would be mentioned if you replied to a post about the Indonesian flood disasters. My conclusion.... your obsessed and quite off topic.
That’s a very true statement. I don’t know how we could have done it any worse. Even the thought of invasion was wrong.
But we don’t get to turn back the clock.
Given today’s environment, who do you wanted to run the government? Would you pick the men that killed around 20 people and wounded hundreds for marching in a religious parade? Do you want the radical Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr? Do you want the criminals who go around kidnapping for ransom? Who will be able to get the country on the right track? The People? They don’t seam to be able to do it with help, how are they going to do it by themselves?
As mush as I disagree with Bush, on this one he is right.
That’s a long list. Illegal immigration, blind support of Israel, every thing about Iraq, and globalization policies, just for starters. I have never been so repulsed by any president as I have been by Bush.
What do you suggest the coalition forces do for a fairlytale ending to Iraq trouble?
Fairy Tale endings are out. It is far too late for that. We have always been short of troops there. We started out with less that half that was needed.
Now when a hot spot starts up, they leave an old hot spot to go to the new one. Then the old hot spot becomes the next hot spot. There are not enough troops to keep the peace. The problem is not the true insurgents that are fighting foreign domination; it is all the criminal activity that has become profitable because of lack of stability and sectarian valance that can occur because nothing is under control.
And now the west say wihout them Iraq would be in chaos..
They refuse to see that iraq is in chaso BECASUE OF THEM...
As many article say that the US always want to be right but never want to take the resposibility of it action.
it uses rhetoric and word to mask failures instead of meeting accountability.
Inshallah,they will learn slowly but surely.
They and their leaders and the hyprocrites in the Ummah who support the murder of muslims will be held accountable..
As will all of mankind.
So the Ummah fear Allah and fear the day of Judgement..
Do what is right...do not do what is wrong.
On a more cynical view, I believe another factor for a fairly large U.S. presence in Iraq is due to Iran. Not that any U.S. forces currently in Iraq would ever be used for some kind of "invasion", but more as a simple reminder of U.S. presence right in Iran's backyard.
The U.S. military is not a police force, and that is what is required in Iraq at the moment. Many of these soldiers are still in a kill or be killed mindset, and that is not good for any kind of security or peace-keeping role. Unfortunately, there will be no international presence in Iraq, so it is either the U.S. playing security force or the U.S. leaving and watching Iraq slide into sectarian violence and probably an all out civil war.

Salaam,
The US sees fear at every turna nd see enmies at every corner.
As surely as once saddam was it close allies,surely will one day Saudi and Canada will be its enemies in the future.
The US has siad time and time again..
US INTEREST
US INTEREST
US INTEREST..
Anything else dont matter,as long as US reamain inviolate.
But many in the Ummah do not realise that the US does things,war murder,support for regime,,and so on..it is all for their OWN INTEREST.
They would supply weapons to Saddam with WMD to murder his own,people,supply warlord in Afghan and Somalia with Weapons to fight anyone that is detrimental to US hegemony...
